Prevalence of infratentorial superficial siderosis in a large general population sample from the UK Biobank.

Background: Classical infratentorial superficial siderosis (iSS) is considered a rare but potentially disabling neurological disorder. It results from slow chronic blood extravasation into the cerebrospinal fluid and deposition of the iron degradation product hemosiderin within the subpial layers of the central nervous system. Susceptibility-weighted (SW) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the reference diagnostic modality.

A rare cause of Hoffa's fat pad impingement: the crossed-doubled patellar tendon.

We present an unusual case of Hoffa's fat pad impingement syndrome and chondromalacia patellae in the presence of a rare congenital crossed doubled patellar tendon. The crossed-doubled patellar tendon is exceedingly rare. It's relationship to other conditions involved in anterior knee pain is unclear; however, this case highlights potential pathological associations.

Pictorial review: the pearls and pitfalls of the radiological manifestations of gallstone ileus.

We present a pictorial review of a range of typical and atypical cases of gallstone ileus (GI), across a wide range of imaging modalities. GI is a complication of gallstone disease causing mechanical intestinal obstruction due to impaction of gallstone in the gastrointestinal tract. The spectrum of presentation can vary enormously, and we highlight the importance of accurate imaging diagnosis of GI especially early use of computed tomography.
